Blatantly Plagiarized Heart Wrap
One of my heart project cabs - I liked Tela's take on hanging it off center which still emphasizes the heart shape.
So many heart wraps kind of bobble the top of the heart, IMHO, and disguises it.
Any chance any one can ID this pretty green stone? Mohs hardness 6-7 (with my crude test kit)
AHH!! - Happiness is a sharp band saw blade 
Thanks for looking,
Patty

Thief, thief!!!! I demand your band saw for compensation! LOL!
You did a great job from a picture! I would straighten the bail though. Were you using half hard? That would work better. Your back looks neat, as always, too. Now that I planted the seed, I'm curious to see your spin on the next one.
No clue on the stone. Sorry.

Thank you Tela.  Why is it that there is always some glaring fault that I don't see until I'm posting the photo. Totally agree - must fix. I think the next one needs a different bail - I have a couple of ideas & a bunch of hearts !
Thank you once again, for the inspiration.

Nice job, Patty liveoak! I'm just pulling this guess out of thin air, but maybe green aventurine? |

Adventurine was my first guess too.

Thank you Robin hummingbirdstones & for the ID. The color is right - and in fact with the inclusions in it, I like it better than the pure adventurine. Patty |

My apologies, Patty, yesterday I commented about how much I liked your pilfering of Tela's heart, yet it seems that I *again* forgot to push all the right buttons to make a post. So, a bit late--nice job!

No apology necessary Susan, susand24224 , we've all done that (or at least I have), and I hate to then have to try and rewrite what I "thought" was the right thing the first time & can't seem to get my brain wrapped around it a second time !
Oh & thank you,
Patty
